Keldon Johnson's slow start to the season could lead to a diminished role once Tobias Harris joins the San Antonio Spurs' rotation.
Ty Small of Air Alamo argues that San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson risks losing rotation minutes once veteran forward Tobias Harris returns from a calf injury. Johnson's scoring average has fallen to 8.6 points per game through the team's first eight games of the 2026-27 season, while his three-point shooting has dropped to 20%.
The writer notes that the Spurs declined to extend Johnson's contract during the summer, turning the campaign into a crucial prove-it year. Small believes Harris will provide stiff competition for bench minutes due to his superior decision-making, ball control, and consistent scoring ability.
